Elucidating drug targets and mechanisms of action by genetic screens in mammalian cells.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic screening is a powerful approach to discover small molecules with desired effects on biological systems, which can then be developed into therapeutic drugs. The identification of the target and mechanism of action of compounds discovered in phenotypic screens remains a major challenge. This feature article describes the use of genetic tools to reveal drug targets and mechanisms in mammalian cells....
